Abstract (en)

A technique is provided that identifies screen and non-screen regions of a projected or displayed image to smooth and selectively remove moiré from the screen regions while maintaining sharpness in the non-screen regions. Each pixel in the image is classified as a screen or non-screen pixel and then pixels in a predetermined surrounding area of each pixel are examined to check the classification of that pixel. A low pass filter is applied to pixels in the image, such that, when the low pass filter is applied, a center of the low pass filter is selectively shifted relative to a current pixel based on the examination.
